Morphology
matrixing = matrix (semi-transparent) = matrix + ing
The word is clearly built from 'matrix' + '-ing', but the technical routing-and-combining sense depends on specialist knowledge of matrix systems.
Etymology
Matrixing comes from matrix, a Latin word meaning 'womb' or 'source', from mater 'mother'. So in audio and broadcast work, matrixing is arranging signals in a grid that links inputs to outputs, giving a clear form to many feeds.
